Health Concerns and Podcast Segment Ideas

You know, maybe that might help me. We should get the reading. Yeah. So what's the reading right now? Reading right now is before the pod was 145. All right. That's, that's not good. The, the, the smaller number was healthy, but it was the the other number that's bad.
Reflections on Poor Draft Choices
00:01:11
Speaker
So we gotta, we gotta figure out some lifestyle change, boys. so
00:01:15
Speaker
Yep, yep. Put suggestions in the chat. um But also, you know, I think we got a normal bread blood pressure citizen on the line. ah The Yat Rizzler, Ohio. What's up? What does that even mean? Did you learn that from a student? but No, i i I don't know where I learned it, but.
00:01:37
Speaker
thank I don't know, some skibbity toilet stuff, you know. Skibbity.
00:01:46
Speaker
Well, di unfortunately, we're talking to you soon. And it's not super surprising. um But well we'll get into why that is. But how are you feeling? Well, obviously disappointed, but not not surprised either. So.
00:02:06
Speaker
ah what do What do you tell the girlfriend when you're down $25 with nothing to show for well, actually I I got a I want to pick them my pick them week this week and for work So kind of I made the money back there. All right, bro. That's good. That's good. That's good All right, well, ah let's let's go over the downfall dill What went wrong?
Weekend Game Analysis and Strategies
00:02:31
Speaker
um The draft
00:02:35
Speaker
Yeah, we'll wait on the draft. To be honest, ah thought I thought I'd ace the draft. Not a problem. No What was the good pick, huh? A good pick? Yeah. I don't think I had one good pick. Reflecting back, who was my first? Drake London. Drake London? that's yeah That started wrong.
00:03:05
Speaker
dale Did you watch any football this weekend? You know what? I i i did. ah I watched parts of the game in Brazil. That was the Eagles, GoBirds. I watched the Jets last night and the Niners a little bit. That's about it. the That Brazil turf.
00:03:34
Speaker
Oh, I don't know. I didn't watch closely enough, I guess. I don't know what you're talking about. It was slick, Dale. It was a slick ball there. Yeah, I guess it's different though. I don't know.
00:03:49
Speaker
Shit. I'm sure. I thought you'd know something. All right. So the draft didn't go well. Um, is that it? Well, obviously T Higgins and I don't know who else was out. I don't know if that was like preseason that I just didn't know about and I drafted dumbly or if it was, they got injured after that, but, uh, you know, that didn't help obviously.
00:04:15
Speaker
no that it was out t you go down downs and higgins i I texted you ah the night before the game star. I said dill you got some players are out. You're gonna have to change your lineup like an home away didn't know He was looking out it probably would have yeah just made no effect so Yeah, I think there is yeah, it was nothing I could do there it probably would have been like a two-point difference Yeah, so That's all right. I mean it happens so less language you worry about Who is the second lowest score?
Player Value Predictions
00:04:51
Speaker
It was a bow dentist bow with how many points 67 oh, I was still 20 points off yeah spener do Remember any lower eliminations than 42 I can't recall but that's pretty low I
00:05:11
Speaker
That's pretty bad. Yeah, that's pretty bad. No, it's pretty bad. That's pretty embarrassing, actually. How many points did my number one put out? Drake London, two points? Two and a half, yeah. All right, there we go. That's a good start. Nobody broke 10. I think Josh Jacobs did, no? Just under.
00:05:33
Speaker
yeah Yeah, yeah, the the pick that spencer and I said was shit actually scored the best Well, it was a second round pick. So like There's not you can't do much worse in the second Oh Yeah, it's it was tough deal it was tough to watch we kind of knew early and And here you are um your average finish uh hasn't changed much though really yeah he's excited he sounds excited i am excited that's good news well i thought my average was a little high i thought i was like in like the mid table range you know like like 10th it's only going up it's 15 so that's pretty bad it'll just move down like 15 and a half or so
00:06:30
Speaker
All right. Lesson learned. Do you think I need to start watching football or something? Might help. Yeah.
00:06:39
Speaker
Yeah, a couple, a little bit of a risky draft there, but, uh, you know, somebody has to be first. Um, so, so might as well, uh, you know, live while you're young, at least you got your pick them right this week. Yeah, there we go. Well, so normally we would be recording this on a Wednesday. So we would see, uh, who got picked up from your team so far. Everyone's saying, uh, there's no one worth picking up. but
00:07:05
Speaker
That's not true. I'm just going to have to speculate. come on So don't I'll let you be the the the judge and the jury on this one. ah Let's go down the list here. Let's give a little projection on what you think some of your top players are going to go for. it Well, starting with Drake, London, number one pick. What's the, uh, you didn't actually get to watch the Falcons game. What was the quarterback situation there with the, uh, Kirk cousin looked like a quarterback that just towards Achilles. That's what I'll say. He you did. He did not look, uh, he did not look like Mr. Kirgo chains, Minnesota. He looked tough. Yeah.
00:07:50
Speaker
Well, that case. And TJ Watt was up in his business all day. Yeah. Well, we'll see. I mean, he'll probably make a comeback, Kirk Will, but um I don't know. Drake will probably go for... Oh, what's the cap? It's a thousand is the... 300 might be the the highest I could see him going for.
00:08:19
Speaker
I'll be shocked because they're 300. I mean, maybe he does, but you got some nuts. If you're going 300 on a guy who just scored two and a half points. ah well What do you think, Joel? I think I bid 20. He's going to go more than 20. I can guarantee that.
00:08:37
Speaker
but That's just what I'm comfortable with That's fair. I I think it's gonna it's gonna be at least a hundred like yeah, there we go. That's good It's gotta be at least a hundred. and I agree with that. Yeah. Yeah, I'll put the over under at like 175 I Was gonna say 200. All right. All right. I'm not bidding everyone knows I like Drake London. I can confirm with everyone. ah You will not see a bid. I'll be below on, I'll take the under on drills for my bid amount. um He's not a player you want in the team. He'll goose ya.
00:09:16
Speaker
Yeah. he He'll book you a ticket on the podcast. Yeah, he'll book your ticket on the podcast. ah I know everyone I've seen that I see Eddie in the chat. I've seen some people like Spencer. I've been big. You better go bigger than me. No, I'm not. I'm not putting much on on him. This is not the leap for great. All right, Dale. Next up, Josh Jacobs.
00:09:44
Speaker
I got 50 bucks. 50 bucks? 50 bones? No, no. yeah
00:09:50
Speaker
He's going to be more than Drake London. Really? I think, Joel, what do you think? I'm betting more than $20 on Drake London. All right. I think he'll go for like... I don't know what he's going to... I'd say $200 is a good line, but I think he's going to cost more than Drake London. Just because running backs are harder to come by.
00:10:10
Speaker
um I think somebody drops like 650 on him Somebody's gonna be desperate hog out.
Elimination Predictions and Team Evaluations
00:10:18
Speaker
Yep. Oh, yeah. I think it's gonna happen
00:10:24
Speaker
All right. So, so far deal with the expert. prediction yeah 350. Uh, let's, uh, I'll just, I'll give you one more, uh, uh, option here. We got training bride. All right. So I'm running back runner receiver and tight end. So tight end treatment pride. What do you think he's going for? Oh, I, I honestly could not tell you.
00:10:52
Speaker
50 bucks. but Hey, I think we're getting closer. I don't know. We'll see. Joel's probably highest as bid is on Trey McBride. I've had to guess. Whoa. a I mean, you said you said 20 for Drake London. I'll put up more than 20.
00:11:09
Speaker
on trade ride. I'm putting up more than 20 on tray. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I ah yeah. This week is interesting. So um people in the chat given mixed things, you know, some people saying they're hogging out this week. Some people saying Dylan didn't make any good picks. Therefore, there's no good players, which I think that's egregious. I think. Yeah.
00:11:36
Speaker
It's just I make good picks. Yeah, you make good picks. He makes good picks. Um, I, uh, I got a text from Bo, uh, doctor to be Bo. He said, uh, Hey man, pretty worried. So don't worry, Bo, just, just bid really high. He said, yes, yes, chief. Um,
00:12:01
Speaker
I just let you guys know, we might get some high bids. Bo renamed himself to week two exit.
00:12:11
Speaker
I mean, in all honesty, man, like I'm not feeling good about my roster. I mean, it's pretty much Josh Allen for me. Like that's all I got right now. um I could, I could be on the podcast soon. I need to pick it up. We got some work to do.
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. It was a little tough. Um, looking back this week, uh, I mean, you were a bottom, uh, you were actually a top half performer. Yeah, but it's cause Josh Allen scored 35 points. Oh, actually, wait, that actually might not be true. I'm looking at records, not points for, uh, I should be looking at points for. Dill, who do you think needs to be picking up some, um some people?
00:12:59
Speaker
Well, I mean, he doesn't know. Obviously. All right. Keeps the list going. Who else? Spencer said he needs players. Yep. Yep. That's right. Let's go. Yeah, I wish I knew. I haven't even had a chance to look at other teams yet, so I couldn't even tell yet. Dealfraud didn't even know he's eliminated till we texted him.
00:13:26
Speaker
I actually thought I was doing well. Well, oh no well until I saw the text, I was looking at the other league. I think and so i didn't didn't really think about this one.
00:13:38
Speaker
so Uh, all right. Well, we got, uh, so week zero, we released a preseason pot. We said, all right, you know, usually you score 80 points. You're going to be safe. Um, so we got, we got six teams that scored under 80 in week one. Okay.
00:13:58
Speaker
So, dill I'm going to give you a multiple choice to make it easy on you here. Um, so on this podcast, we love to pick, uh, have the guy who just got chopped pick who's going to get chopped next. Okay. Multiple choice question. I pick Dr. Bow. You didn't even need to hear the options.
00:14:19
Speaker
Somebody's changing their name to week two exit. That's not inspiring confidence
Soccer Talk: Crystal Palace and West Ham
00:14:25
Speaker
Okay, we got a Two doctor to bees in the in the bottom half here ah We actually got three doctor to bees in this league pretty crazy That's impressive partly ah Spencer do you concur with Dylan's analysis?
00:14:48
Speaker
um I'm gonna go with no just because it sounds like I mean we it's hard here because we don't know who's getting what players. And it sounds like Dr. Bow wants to spend up and get some players so he can survive. So I'm actually going to say, I think he survives. This is assuming he gets players. And the next person I would be a little bit concerned about is, again, the other candidate, Chris. um see He was even talking in the chat how his team sucks. And looking at it, i
00:15:25
Speaker
it JK Dobbins is like the one bright spot that could carry him. um But between DJ Moore having two Chicago wide receivers, um he doesn't have a running back. like He's starting like Clyde and Rahim Oster, which like we're not really getting into too much of like fantasy yet, but I don't think Rahim's gonna do much this year. I think i think his time's over. um So he like doesn't have running backs to me, two shitty wide receivers. So his team is kinda like mine.
00:15:59
Speaker
with like three players that have to backpack everything. Yeah. If I'm Chris, I'm i'm i'm dropping 669 on Josh Jacobs. Yeah. He was like literally nothing on his bench. Like he drafted all dead people. True. true so it's It's kind of come down to who could who gets some of these players, I think. Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:23
Speaker
All right. All right. um You know, I think ah just looking at the list here, ah I'm going to have to go with.
00:16:35
Speaker
Oh, geez. This is kind of a tough one. Um, I think I'm gonna have to go with big Spence. You can fill me on there. I'm not going to take offense with Pooka with Pooka again. Now that kind of hurts. Yeah, it does. I'm not going to cap. You're on the same level as Chris's.
00:16:57
Speaker
Yeah, I think ah they actually play like Clyde doesn't play. So I got that on him. um But yeah, I can understand. um I think I'm going to be pretty crafty because I don't really want to spend up on these guys. I don't think I'm going to. Oh, yeah. We'll see what I do. OK. All right, Bill, it's your time to pick who's going to win it all.
00:17:28
Speaker
I couldn't tell you. Just say a name. Just say a name. You know the names. Oh my goodness. Do you want a multiple choice?
00:17:43
Speaker
No, uh, Joel, you get it. You can win it all. Thank you. Well, uh, deal thoughts, feelings, opinions, shade. No, no shade.
Closing Thoughts and Humorous Wrap-up
00:18:06
Speaker
I think next year I'm going to pick better.
00:18:11
Speaker
Okay. but Sounds like all we got, you know, this is the first pod. It's hard. It's always hard when you get our boy, Dale, the football knowledge, not there. So, I mean, I just got to call it out is. um joe Tell us about, tell us about soccer. What's going on with soccer right now? How's Bob doing? Oh, big, well, Bob's, Bob's recovering from his injury. That's good. Good news. He should be back practicing November. So that's good.
00:18:43
Speaker
What's your thought on Crystal Palace's squad right now? ah Crystal Palace has a decent squad, good coach, although they sold Olese to Bayern this summer. And so that's ah causing them a little bit of issues, creativity up top. But um no, i think I think Crystal Palace have a decent squad. How about West Ham?
00:19:10
Speaker
Actually, West Ham made great signings this summer. so um ah Yeah, I think West Ham are going to do pretty well. um I don't think they're in Europe this year. Heck yeah, I'm pretty sure they're not. So less competitions to worry about. um They can focus on the prime. I think they'll do top six finish for West Ham.
00:19:31
Speaker
If West Ham was in the Guillotine League and and they they didn't score very well week one, what would they do? What would their you know summer signings be? West Ham? Well, they didn't do great ah last season.
00:19:54
Speaker
This is a hard question, Joel, just because West Ham don't have that much money compared to the big dogs. They're not one of the big ones. Okay. Um, I don't know. West Ham probably need to strengthen their back line a little bit. They had some good signings up front, creative signings in the midfield, but this is the knowledge we need for football. This is what we need. All right. I don't know if I can get there. Maybe eventually.
00:20:22
Speaker
I love it. All right, boys, you heard it. Bo's going next. I'm winning it all. And if you want to make it this week, be like West Ham, get some creative signings going. Yeah, there it is. Oh, hey, shout out to the US men's national team for just signing Pochettino as a coach today. Pochettino. Pochettino. Big deal for soccer in the US. Yes. Hell yeah. I heard he's pretty much as good as Pep, right?
00:20:47
Speaker
Uh, I by nope, that is not true factually inaccurate. Oh, I'm trying to flex my, my, my little primarily acknowledged. You got some knowledge. I'm impressed. Oh yeah. I know posh spices husband. There you go. Bex.
00:21:09
Speaker
All right, deal. Uh, for those who made it to the end of the podcast, uh, let us know the emoji. We should drop in the chat. Fucking ham, dude. I am for West Ham. I love it. Do it. All right. Hey, emoji make it to the end. ah Well, hopefully we won't be talking to you next week and make some good signings tonight, boys.
